66, letter
Yan Xing has made these considerations without reasons.
In the fourth year of Zhongping, Geng Bi led the troops of six counties to Didao City, and the mutiny was killed. Wang Guo, Ma Teng and Han Sui's coalition forces were trembling. For a moment, the powerful surnames and Qiang and Hu tribes in Liangzhou were all following, competing for the king. Han, these two heroic figures, were in the limelight. The troops of the coalition forces in Liangzhou were like a strong wind swept through the autumn leaves. They were defeated in battle and attacked in every attack.
Against this background, when the powerful families in Yunwu City summoned the Han family in Jincheng to hunt Jicheng together, they were very moved, and on the other hand, they did not dare to pick up the tiger beards of the Han family in Jincheng, and openly disobeyed Han Sui's orders. So they, who were "only strong, are by relying on the strength" they sent troops to help the Han family and attack Jicheng. The Yan family was originally attached to the big tree of the Han family. At that time, they bit the bullet and summoned people to follow the army to attack Jicheng.
At that time, it was Yan's father who made the decision, who led the army to go to war with Yan Xing.
Later, the powerful coalition forces almost effortlessly wiped out the lonely officials of the Han Dynasty and other Han officials who were trapped in the lonely city, and captured this prefecture that represented the Han Dynasty's rule in Liangzhou.
In the lobby of Hanyang County, a large amount of prestige gathered because of the capture of Ji City. In order to go further, the kingdom of the people completely overwhelmed Han Sui, who was nominally second only to him but surpassed his strength. He inspired various forces in Liangzhou who hunted Ji City. After he captured Chang'an with everyone, he set up Hangu Pass with the Han Dynasty court to rule and rank 800 miles of Qinchuan again sounded the clarion call of the Liangzhou coalition forces' eastern expedition.
By chance, Yan Xing embarked on the journey of the Eastern Expedition with his troops and was selected into the elite vanguard selection army of the coalition forces. He also joined the new generals and officials of the vanguard selection army with the help of infiltrating the military affairs of the Sanfu, and won the favor of the Han family and was regarded as an elite force by Han Chang.
But just after the coalition forces advanced eastward, the coalition forces finally encountered the nightmare of "the elite cavalry and soldiers could not surpass the right Fufeng". First, they were covered in blood under Chencang City, and then they besieged Chencang and were haunted by the cold and severe winter. They were struggling with people and poor food and grass. The good situation turned sharply and eventually had to withdraw their troops in shame under Chencang City.
However, the worse situation is still behind. The Han army, who had been replenishing for a winter, pursued and intercepted the coalition forces during the retreat. After a great war, the coalition forces completely collapsed. Although the Yan family's troops evacuated the front battlefield because Yan Xing judged the enemy situation in advance and evacuated the front battlefield, they still encountered Xu Rong's subsequent pursuit of the troops on the edge of the Lishui River. A battle of great strength began. The Yan family's troops were killed. After several twists and turns, Yan Xing became a prisoner of the Dong army. Later, he turned around and turned into a general and a lie in the Dong army, and came to Lintao, Liangzhou.
A letter naturally cannot accommodate such a huge amount of information, so Yan Xing has already mentioned his experience a few times and has begun to plan for the current Yan family to survive and develop in the cracks of the fierce competition between Liangzhou.
The Yan family is in a state of turmoil and internal and external troubles.
On the outside, the Yan family is in the heart of the Han family in Jincheng, and is firmly controlled by the Han family, which is deeply rooted in the tree. At present, Liangzhou is the dominant Han Sui family, and the forces of each family are constrained by each other. If the Yan family wants to continue to survive and grow under the nose of the Han family in Jincheng, they have to maintain the consistent principle of "only rely on the strength" and continue to rely on the Han family, the big tree of the Han family. Even though Han Sui is cunning and deep and difficult to live for a long time, he still has to lurk and endure it now, and should not stand up rashly and become the target of public criticism and be killed.
Yan Xing remembered that Han Sui's future power would have an expansion period until he and Ma Chaojin occupied the Sanfu.
Internally, Yan Xing didn't know whether the third uncle who was caught by him two years ago and was in charge of the position of chief responsibilities had already died of depression after being imprisoned, and whether his subordinate Yan Feng, who had become a tyrant, had already been discouraged and had ended his life. However, in the current situation of the coalition defeat, Yan's father who made the decision and the self who led the army to conquer the army were undoubtedly the target of public criticism in the clan. If this situation is handled well, the people in the clan can still work together and regret it together. If there is a slight difference in handling, it will immediately be a situation where people's hearts are dispersed and power is backfiring.
Therefore, Yan Xing, who returned to Yunwu to report the news, acted secretly in order to avoid causing a stir again. Instead, he assisted Yan's father in remediation of the big hole that was poked in the Yan family after the coalition forces were defeated. When necessary, he would not hesitate to take ruthless measures to solve the hidden resistance forces in the clan.
Some plans can be written in letters, while some plans need to be conveyed by Yan Xing in person. Yan Xing continued to think about whether there are any shortcomings and omissions in his own heart, and he was inadequate in his plan, and at the same time he spoke out to encourage Yan Xing.
"After these days, I can now control the nearly 100 Dong family members in the front yard. In addition, I have already obtained the right to go to and from the village freely and act cheaply, so you don't need to worry. Now that the forces in Liangzhou are attacking each other, the road is not stable. If you take two people on the road, you must be more careful on the road!"
After saying that, Yan Xing looked up at Yan Xing after thinking about gains and losses, and found that he was hesitant and wanted to speak but stopped. He was a little surprised and asked again:
"Do you have any other concerns during this trip? You and my brothers can speak frankly, and I will definitely try to solve it for you!"
Yan Xing sighed, he looked at Yan Xing and said helplessly:
"Brother's plan is very thoughtful, and I didn't have any other concerns at first. But, brother, have you forgotten one thing?"
"What did I forget?"
Yan Xing was a little curious when Yan Xing said this, and he quickly asked, thinking in his heart whether he had missed something he had just said, or which link he had not considered when he was planning before.
"If it was uncle, Awan asked about his eldest brother's return date, Xing really didn't know how to answer!"
Yan Xing looked at Yan Xing's thoughtful look and knew that his clan brother still didn't understand what he meant, so he had to express his doubts.
When Yan Xing heard this, he felt a sudden slap in his heart. In addition to briefly narrating his current situation in the letter, he did not specify when he would return to Yunwu's home.
